Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has reportedly offered to testify before Congress but only under specific conditions, including immunity. US media sources indicate Maxwell was subpoenaed to appear in August by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.
Maxwell’s lawyers stated they initially planned to invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. However, they later offered cooperation with Congress, contingent on establishing “a fair and safe path forward.” They emphasized that Maxwell is currently appealing her 20-year sentence to the Supreme Court.
The legal team argued that providing testimony now “could compromise her constitutional rights, prejudice her legal claims, and potentially taint a future jury.” They further contended in a letter to Comer that congressional members’ public comments “appear to have prejudged Ms. Maxwell’s credibility” without reviewing her statements or supporting documentation.
